So did anyone respec? I was going to (to take a node that had 6,6,16% health over the 6,6,6 I had) but didnt bother as I would have still gone for the other node anyway. I was only 20th though, so not as heavily invested as others obviously.
A few hours last night and I never saw any real difference to my game, again most likely as only ~20 hrs played.
It does get harder though which is nice, but still no massive bosses - we are in the forest and just took down thebut I didnt feel like it was a mad "potion potion potion run away, kite, kite, potion potion, run away kite kite potion run away huzzah!" fight.Scorpion
I'm playing Torchlight 2 at the moment, so I've not looked at the respec options.
About the next big boss:
At the end of Act 2 I had to 'cheat' to beat it as it was so difficult. I kept opening up portals to town so that when I died I could just jump back into the fight where I'd left off. Had to do it about 10 times I think data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
You will certainly enjoy the Act 2 boss, especially if you do not know what is coming.! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I lost my level 41 Marauder today to Brutus. I thought I could take him head on but I got too cocky!
Bought a Regal Supporters Pack tonight that gives 350 currency, an effect and some pets. Really enjoying this. The new leagues start in an hour and a half but I'll be tucked up in my bed!
I noticed people topping the leagues are already levelled in the 60s after about 13 hours of play.
Not sure exactly how the leagues work as I only started playing this week but as they last four months, I can't see why they're all rushing. Is it just cult of the new as I can't see them being able yo keep the pace up.

Had another bash last night with my co-op partner, level 35 now at around 400dps with wraith/anger up (along with 575hps, 280mana, 81 shield, 930 evasion)
The graphics have had a nice little boost in the few weeks I have been away, and things like hats and helms all made better looking - my tricorn pirate hat now makes me look like Adam Ant (which can only be a good thing) rather than a wooden bowl on my head. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Here's a little tip for you. The latest patch has introduced a raft of performance improvements amongst other things about how graphics are loaded and loading times in general.
There is a defrag tool that you can run on the content.gppk file and it reduces the size of the game file by about 3GB!
There's a whole thread about it here
I've tried it and it works a treat! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
